THE LONGCUT – MAPS REMIX
Hello friends! A long time ago, in the year 2006, I became friends with The Longcut We toured together, they were promoting their brilliant debut LP ‘A Call And Response’, and I was promoting the then soon to be released debut Maps album ‘We Can Create’. We also collaborated together with a remix swap. The Longcut did a fantastic take on the Maps song ‘Start Something’, and I remixed their track ‘Holy Funk’. It was my first ever remix! Both of those remixes were released on the Maps Limited Edition ‘Regions’ series (Region 2 to be exact!)
Anyway, (now you have the back story!) fast-forward 12 years and they kindly asked me to remix a track from their fantastic new album ‘Arrows’. The track is called ‘Popic’. The video was shot in Iceland and is super-cool.
The original full-length version is available to buy/stream/dance to here: https://thelongcut.bandcamp.com/track/popic-epic-maps-remix
We hope you enjoy! Turn it up.
Mute 4.0
Thanks to everyone who came down to the Mute takeover of Rough Trade East last weekend. It was a wonderful evening of all things Mute. Lost Under Heaven and A Certain Ratio were brilliant! Here’s to 40 more years!
(Thanks to D. Barnsby for this action shot of me DJing)
More news soon on the new Maps album. Let’s just say that 2019 is shaping up to be an exciting year indeed! Very excited to share the new music with you all.
